SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. FD 36739] 

Massachusetts Coastal Railroad, 

LLC—Acquisition and Operation 

Exemption—Bay Colony Railroad 

Corporation 

Massachusetts Coastal Railroad, LLC 

(Mass Coastal), a Class III rail carrier, 

has filed a verified notice of exemption 

under 49 CFR 1150.41 to acquire from 

Bay Colony Railroad Corporation (Bay 

Colony) and to operate approximately 

5.92 miles of rail line between milepost 

QND 0.08 and milepost QND 6.00 in 

Bristol County, Mass. (the Line). 

According to the verified notice, Bay 

Colony is the current operator of the 

Line. 

The verified notice states that Mass 

Coastal has entered into an agreement 

with Bay Colony to acquire the assets 

comprising the Line and will assume, 

via assignment, the lease for the 

underlying real property, which is 

owned by Massachusetts Department of 

Transportation (MassDOT).1 Mass 

Coastal currently has authority to 

operate the lines connected to both ends 

of the Line. 

Mass Coastal certifies that the 

proposed acquisition of the Line does 

not involve any interchange 

commitments. Mass Coastal further 

certifies that its projected revenues as a 

result of this transaction will not exceed 

those that would qualify it as a Class III 

carrier and that its projected annual 

revenue will not exceed $5 million. 

The transaction may be consummated 

on or after December 16, 2023, the 

effective date of the exemption (30 days 

after the verified notice was filed). 

If the verified notice contains false or 

misleading information, the exemption 

is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the 

exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d) 

may be filed at any time. The filing of 

a petition to revoke will not 

automatically stay the effectiveness of 

the exemption. Petitions for stay must 

be filed no later than December 8, 2023. 

All pleadings, referring to Docket No. 

FD 36739, must be filed with the 

Surface Transportation Board either via 

e-filing on the Board’s website or in 

writing addressed to 395 E Street SW, 

Washington, DC 20423–0001. In 

addition, one copy of each pleading 

must be served on Mass Coastal’s 

representative, Eric M. Hocky, Clark Hill 

PLC, Two Commerce Square, 2001 

Market St., Suite 2620, Philadelphia, PA 

19103. 

According to Mass Coastal, this action 

is categorically excluded from 

environmental review under 49 CFR 

1105.6(c) and from historic reporting 

requirements under 49 CFR 1105.8(b). 

Board decisions and notices are 

available at www.stb.gov. 

Decided: November 28, 2023. 

By the Board, Scott M. Zimmerman, Acting 

Director, Office of Proceedings.

Clearance Clerk.
